CHANGE YOUR MIND CHANGE YOUR WORLD!
if the world you live in is perceved by the mind in your head, the act of perception is the sum total of your reality.
if you think it sucks IT DOES! if you look at the lemons your handed over and over and try to see the good then its not so bad. (I offten fall into this self same trap of "why me?")
everybody has hardships everyones position in life is relative to everyone elses
their reality construct interfers with your own.
there is no point there is only the fact that all situations are what you can manage to make of them.
courtesy, graciousness, humility, confidence, and self acertiveness are all nessary traits for a polite society. the trick thou is balanceing and knowing when to do what. as Miyamoto Musashi said its all in the timeing.
the reason (i am learning,) that sailors are hard people is that social traits mean nothing to the sea. the only traits are competance, hard work, and doing what must be done. and if a person embodys those things they will get on well enough on a ship. be it a 5 ton yacht or a 1000 ton sailing warship. modern seamanship is a very diffrent creature and i decline to speak on it...
rant done now if i made anybody think well GOOD!

Very true. What is your universe but your perceptions? When I get down, I just think of what I've achieved, and what wonderful friends I have, and the world brightens.
